"[Leslie] will be dealing with the dilemma of whether to come clean [about her romance with Ben] or whether to give up her dream of running for office," he said.

"The trick is going to be to figure out a storyline that allows her to stay true to her character in terms of what she wants to achieve - but also, making her happy because she likes the guy that she's dating."

Schur continued by confirming that Tom (Aziz Ansari) will definitely be returning for the fourth season, even though the character resigned from his post at the end of last season.

"We don't want to just come back and have everything back to normal," Schur added. "We want to play out that he's the guy who's had this dream for a long time.

"I don't think he's going to give it up right away… The trick there is figuring out a way to have Entertainment 720 still in the show and have Aziz on the show as much as he's ever been."
